Where's the Aiming Point for the Skunkworks Spad7 ?

[jmoscola2012]

Hi Guys,

 

For the life of me, I can't figure out the aim point for the Spad7 created by the Skunkworks. Does anyone know?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Joe

Mine is this:

 

AimAngles=4.5,-5.50,0.0

 

Big move. Couldn't hit anything before.

 

Of course if you mod the AimAngle it will be off centre if you fly in No Cockpit Mode (with just sight).

In lieu of changing the aimpoint I've been using the Snap view down button on my stick. Simulates the pilot having to lower his head to see under the wing. I've no idea what the view was actually like. Was the wing really that low...or the pilot seat that high?

Thank You, Thank You, Thank You. Now the tracers go right down the sight.........................

Well I was finally able to down some Gerry's now with those aim angles. If it only had 2 guns, oh well......

Hi, Are you guys simply changing the direction the bullets travel? ...or does this lower the pilot's head?

 

In the past I made a change in one of Bort's Fokkers....(the DII, I think)

Below is a similar procedure I did for the Spad VII (inside SPAD7_Cockpit.ini) but it seems to have lowered the whole cockpit, bringing with it the pilot's angle of view over the cowl.

 

[CockpitSeat001]

ModelName=Spad_pit-R0c.LOD

HideExternalNodeName=cockpit

OpenCockpit=TRUE

ExternalClipDistMin=0.04

Position=0.0000,-0.7213,0.6074 <-----------I changed '0.6074' from the original '0.7674'

Offset=0.0,0.03,0.18

ViewAngles=0.0,0.0,0.0

 

Not sure if it was the correct thing to manipulate however, but it worked.

 

BTW, I played around with numbers for the ViewAngles but it didn't seem to have any effect.
